3:48PM Jess McGuire | I’m sure many of you still mourn the loss of Clem “CLAM BESTOF” Bastow from the Defamer Australia family, and often find yourself wondering what the little minx is up to these days. Oh, you know – radio, television, writing – the usual. She is also performing a show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Would you like to learn more? More »
Here’s Something Else To See At The Melbourne Comedy Festival

Letter From The Editor
9:32AM Jess McGuire | Beloved readers,
I have some news for you. Prepare yourselves, sit down (as if you’re on a computer while standing up, although maybe you are one of those weird people with internet connections in your fridge door or whatever), and maybe prepare a hanky.
Our dear Associate Editor Clem Bastow is leaving us.
OMG WAT!!!!!1!! NOEEEEEEEEEES!!!1!
I know, I know.
JOSS MACGIRUE AN CLAM BESTOF IN HAPPIER TIMES
Clem has been a fantastic member of the Allure Media family since mid last year, delivering the blog goods daily in her own inimitable style. Always good for a quick James Blunt related Photoshop gag, a devotee of Australia’s Next Top Model (and pretty much our Couture Correspondent), and a woman charmingly obsessed with James Spargo from this year’s Australian Idol, she is – truthfully – irreplacable. So we won’t even bother trying.
Clem’s off to continue her freelance career in The Proper Media TM, as well as continue working as editor of the Australia feminist blog The Dawn Chorus, delivering the goods on RRR, and caning it in the kitchen as she continues “soon-to-be-world-dominating cottage industry jam experiment”. Oh, she’s also appearing in this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival (her show is nearly sold out, but try to get along to it if you can!), and god! Probably a million other things as she’s an extremely busy woman!
Now before you start listening to emo tunes and gently scratching at your wrists with a blunt LadyBic, she may still pop on here now and then with the odd Idol-related thoughts, or if I end up in drug and alcohol rehab and am unable to blog for a week, but we’re going to have to say goodbye to her day to day genius.
Best of luck to you, dear, and on behalf of everyone at Allure Media, I hope it all falls on its arse so you end up back here. JUST KIDDING. You’ll be a wonder, as ever.
Feel free to mourn her passing in the comments, Clam Bestof obsessives.
I’ll be writing more to try and make up for her virtual passing, but it just won’t be the same AND THERE’S NO NEED TO HAMMER THAT FACT HOME, I’M NO CLEM AND I NEVER WILL BE.
Pass me my LadyBic, I’ll be in the bath – Britney Spears’ Everytime style.
